(Jewish News) Rishi Sunak has attempted to use Keir Starmer’s past record as a barrister, when he offered advice to the Islamist extremist group Hizb ut-Tahrir in a case in Germany, as means of discrediting the Labour leader’s position on UK security.
But defending the Labour leader’s decision to deal with the group, who the UK plans to ban as “an antisemitic group that promotes terror,” a spokesperson for Starmer told journalists he had offered advice out of “a long-standing principle that lawyers give advice to people they don’t necessarily agree with.”
